No Change in Industrial or
Commercial Affairs
I
COAL TRADE IS GOOD
Smoke Ordinance Too Drastic—De
mand for Finished Products in
Iron and Steel Business
Is Strong
The First National bank's financial
and commercial review, Just Issued, Is
as follows:
, "February 1, 1913.
"Little change has taken place dur
ing the past month in commercial or
* Industrial affairs, cither general or
local.
"There Is a seasonal dullness in pig
iron at slightly lower nominal prices,
but as most of the furnaces are sold up
for the first half of the year, current
quotations are for deliveries In the
third quarter. The demand for finished
products appears to be as Insistent as
ever and both northern and southern
mills are rushing on full time and are
pressed for deliveries. An Interesting
feature of the month was the purchase
by the Carnegie Steel company of a large
tonnage of eteel billets from the
Southern Iron and Steel company's plant
at Gadsden. The purchase at bank
rupt sale on yesterday, by the bond
holders' committee of the Southern
company's properties, is regarded as be
ing the first step toward a permanent
reorganization of that corporation.
"Despite the war clouds which still
hover over the Balkans, the textile
trade abroad is said to be in satisfac
tory shape, Manchester mills particu
larly reporting good business. Cotton
mills In this section appear to be do
ing well and the textile trade through
out the country Is regarded by some
authorities as fair, although the briefs
recently submitted to the w'ays and
means committee by the Arkwright
club and other representatives of tex
tile interests would seem to Indicate
very unsatisfactory conditions.
Tariff Revision
“The certainty of tariff revision is of
course having some effect and many
merchants prefer to carry comparative
ly small stocks for the time being. One
of the most prominent dry goods com
panies in New York, in its report to
its stockholders on December 31, 1912,
calls attention to the fact that it is
carrying an Important reserve'for price
depreciation which might result from
tariff reductions, but states that apart
from tariff revision, the trade outlook
is favorable.
“Although there lias been a decline
since January 1 of about 1 cent a pound
in the price of cotton for future deliv
ery, the value of spots has been fairly
well maintained around the 12%c level.
Our advices are that throughout this
section, ginning has been practically
completed and that scant preparations
for the new crop have been made. There
is considerable activity, however, in the
fertilizer trade and reports indicate a
larger colume of business by 15 per cent
than a year ago. It is thought by many
that there will be an increased cotton j
acreage in Alabama this year, although
the boll weevil is expected to be ai
serious factor in the western tier of I
counties which will probably result in
a decreased cotton acreage in the sec
tion affected.
“The car shortage existing a few
weeks ago has been overcome to a great
degree, although there is still some
complaint of congested traffic in the
coal mining regions. The coal trade is
unusually good and there is a strong
demand for coke, which is reflected in
the substantial wage increase which be
comes effective today.
The Smoke Ordinance
“Many of the manufacturing enter
prises located in the city limits of Bir
mingham are complaining of the ordi
nance recently adopted by the city com
mission, which seeks to regulate what
is termed the smoke nuisance. The
commercial organizations have spent
much time and money in attempting to
Induce industries to locate in Birming
ham and until recently anything that
made smoke was welcomed. Our fuel
supply is confined entirely to soft coal
mined In this district and a large
amount ^ smoke necessarily Issues at

times from 'every stack and chimney,
although its volume can of course be
reduced by the installation of automatic
stokers and by the use other ap
pliances. These changes, however, in
volve more or less expense wrfich some
cannot afford. . Many of the manufac
turing plants claim that the present re
quirements are too drastic, in that the
time for firing is limited to 3 minutes
per hour instead of 12, as is the rule
in some cities having smoke ordinances.
‘‘A story is told of one of the most
successful of our local coal operators
who w'as projected into the business
some years ago without previous ex
perience in that line, that early in bis
career as a coal baron, in reply to an
inquiry as to the amount of fixed car
bon in his coal he stated that he would
admit that it contained some carbon
but that he was trying to eliminate it.
Until the carbon is eliminated from the
coal mined in the Birmingham district
or its form changed, there always will
be smoke from its combustion. It would
seem therefore that the demand of the
manufacturers for modification of the
smoke ordinance is not unwarranted or
else that the rule of reason should ap
ply in its enforcement. Natural gas has
recently been discovered in considera
ble quantities near Jasper, within i»0
miles of Birmingham, and a large cor
poration is preparing to furnish manu
facturing enterprises with electric cur
rent derived from water power, so it is
not improbable that with the exercise
of a little patience the smoke eyil will
cure itself without inflicting hardship
upon any one.
“The European money markets con
tinue firm, but xnueh easier conditions
prevail In New York and other finan
cial centers of this country. The Pujo
committee has completed its hearings
and its report is expected before the
adjournment of the present Congress.
Davison's Testimony
“Mr. H. P. Davison of the Morgan
Arm was the last witness to appear be
fore the committee and his statements
were among the clearest and most in
teresting made, as well as being the
strongest from the Wall street point
of view. He denied the statement that
a group of 180 directors control the
assets of corporations whose resources
are 125,000,000,000 and expressed the
opinion that no such control could be
possible.
“He pointed out that this vast sum
was not actual cash or liquid assets
susceptible of manipulation or misuse
by the directors, but that a great bulk
of It was tied up in the form of rights
of way, rails, equipment, factories,
tools and other forms of corporate
property necessary for carrying on the
industrial and transportation business
of the country.
“He admitted that there was a con
centration of capital in New York,
which is unquestionably the chief cen
ter of money and credit in this coun
try, but pointed out that there is no
such concentration of banking capital
In the United States as exists in Eng
land, France and Gymany. He showed
that in 1900 the banks in New York
represented 23.2 per cant of the re
sources of the United States and that
they now represent only 18.9 per cent
of such resources. He brought eut the
fact that there are more than 25.000
distinct banking institutions In this
country, while there are only 116 »n
Great Britain, less than 500 in Germany
and 27 in France.
Accumulation in New York
“It was his opinion that the great!
accumulation of money and credit in |
New York was due partly to economic
conditions and partly to the defects of
our banking system. Through the oper
ation of the law in relation to cash re
serves, interior banks are required (o
carry hundreds of millions of dollars on
deposit in New York, and many of
them In order to maintain a secondary
reserve subject to immediate demand,
keep in New York in the form of call
loans many millions additional.
“The attitude of the leading bankers
of the country appears to be entirely
favorable to a revision of the present
laws relating to banking and currency
and they have generally expressed a
desire to co-operate in securing proper
jlegisiation on the subject. It is un
derstood to be the wish of the Presi
dent-elect that the new Congress take
up these matters as well as the tariff
during the extra session.

GADSDEN PREPARING
FOR BARGAIN WEEK
Merchants Decide to Refund Fares to
Purchasers During Week of
March 10
Gadsden, January 81.—(Special.)—At the

fares to purchasers during the week of
bargains, beginning March 10. The re
quest of the merchants for special rail
road rates has been refused by the Ala

Chattanooga and St. Louis railroads.
Gadsden people are awaiting with muen
interest the action of Governor O'Neal
with reference to the application for par

It Is said. It will raise a greater storm
of protest than did Howie's previous pa"
don last year.
Jim Allen, a white man, was arrestwl
at Cedar Bluff, Cherokee county, last
night, charged with blowing a safe and
robbing a store there about a month ago.
He was taken to Centre for a preliminary

A sensation was created in Huntersville
when it was found that eleven bales of
cotton are missing from the Farmers'
union warehouse at that place. /lie

Chicago, January 31.—J. H. Ward, alias
Bert B. Sterling, one of six men who are
said to have swindled Frank P. Fox, a
wealthy Terre Ilaute, Ind„ man out of
120.000 in a roulette game at Hot Springs,
Ark., was arrested here today. His bond
was fixed at SSu.OOO and the case con
tinued until February 11.
Fox caused the arrest of four , of the
alleged gamblers. Ward was traced to
Chicago and arrested in an apartment J
house. The sixth man still Is at large.
$12,000 INVOLVEDIN
SCHOOL LANDS SALE
0'Neal Declares No Good
Could Have Been Done by
Publishing Report
Montgomery, January ai.—tSpecial).—Tn
a statement given out this afternoon.
Governor O’Neal declared that no public
good could have been subserved by the
publication of th* report of Chief Ex
aminer McCall on the sale of sixteenth
section school lands and Issued an invita
tion to any newspaper in the state to
publish the report in full if it sees proper
to do so. The statement of the governor
was brief. Ho explained that while th^
entire amount Involved in the transaction
was $12,199.19, there had been collected
$3948.97, and that the remainder was in
process of settlement.
The publication of the report, according
to the governor, could only tend to cast
a shadow upon the memory of an official
now deceased and would in no wise have
facilitated tho collection of the amount
due the state.
The statement of the governor is as
follows;
“When the report of Chief Examiner
McCall in reference to the misappropria
tion of certain moneys accruing from the
sixteenth section school lands by a for
mer superintendent of education was
called to my official notice I did,, not be
lieve that any public good could be sub
served by giving it newspaper publicity.
{Steps were immediately taken by myself,
tho present superintendent of education
and the attorney general to fully protect
the interests of the state and the shorta;;*'
has been recovered or is in process of
collection.
"The publication, however, In a Bir
mingham afternoon daily entitled
‘heavy shortage in school land fund, ac
cording to rumors’ has so excited public
interest that I believe it my duty to now
authorize any newspaper in the state
that sees proper to do so to publish i 1
full Chief Examiner McCall’s report,
with provision that if same is published
it should be published in full and not in
part. The reason why this report was
r.ot given to the press was because it
only affected the honor and integrity of
an official now deceased and newspaper
notoriety could only tend to cast a
shadow upon his memory and could in
no wise facilitate the collection of the
amount that was due the state. The
entire amount involved was $12,199.19, of
which $3948.97 1ms already been collected
and the remainder is in process of settle
ment."
STEEL BRIDGE OVER
THE TALLAPOOSA
$25,000 Structure to Be Dis
cussed by Montgomery
Board of Revenue
Montgomery, January 31.—(Special.)—
A $26,000 steel bridge across the Talla
pc osa river connecting Montgomery and
rimore counties will be erected if the
board of revenue will join with citizens of
Elmore county. Application to the board
has been made, and it will be tonsidered
Monday.
Owners of large timber tracts In Elmore |
county are willing to < ontributo a large
amount toward the erection of the bridge,
so they can open a route to the Mont- i
gomery market. Erectum of the bridge
would save about $6000 a year to citizens
who are forced to pay ferry fare now . The
site of Hie proposed bridge is 10 miles
from Montgomery and half way between
this city and Wetumpka, the county site
of Elmore.

EXPERT ENGINEERS
TELL WHY SMOKE
ORDINANCE IS NOT
PRACTICAL PLAN
(Conllnned From Page Five)
for small manufacturers than the use
of their own steam power plants. There
is where the smoke problem of Bir
mingham will come to a natural solu
tion. If let alone now. The manufac
turers will Install the electric power,
which will be cheaper than tlietr own
individual steam power plants, there
Will be no necessity for a smoke ordi
nance nor fcfr a 'smoke consumer' and
Birmingham will be a smokeless city
and 'the City Beautiful.’”
Words Misleading, Says (ieismer
"It is very easy to be misled by ex
pressive words, even though they be uni
ted into meaningless phrases," said II. 8.
Gelsmer, vice president of the Ketser
Geismer engineering .firm "An illustra
tion, very much to the point just now, Is
found In the combination of the words
smoke' and 'consumer.' It sounds well,
in fact It's Just what we are looking for,
but frankly, it doesn't exist
Vou can prevent the formation of
smoke by increasing boiler capacities
and installing automatic stokers, but if
once you allow smoke to form you can't
consume It. Unquestionably it would pay
every .power user to redesign his boiler
plant So that it would not produce smoke,
but that takes money and some people
haven't the money.
"Any blast furnace man will tell you
that eventually by-product ovens will re
place all the bee hive type of ovens—they
do not produce smoke and they rut the
cost of coke making in half—but they
cost money, more money than many exist
ing furnace companies can raise at
present.
“Bass a law forbidding the construc
tion of any more bee hive ovens and no
one will object; follow the same course
with smoke producing boiler sottlngs and
you will have accomplished something.
"United States Geological Survey Bul
letin Number 373, on the 'Smokeless Com
buatlon of Coal in Roller Furnaces.' after
devoting some 184 pages to the subjeot,
sums up with the following general con
clusion:
" ‘Coals containing a large preoentage
of tar and heavy hydrocarbons are diffi
cult to burn without smoke and require
special furnaces and more than ordinary
care in firing.
" 'In ordinary boiler furnaces only coals
high in fixed carbon can be burned with
out smoke, except by expert firemen us
ing more than ordinary care in firing.'
"Of the existing plants some can lie
remodeled to advantage. Others cannot,
but must continue to burn coals high in
fixed carbon or to burn other coals with
inefficient result, accompanied by more
or less annoyance from smoke. In these
cases a new, well designed plant is the
only solution of the difficulty.
Cheap Power Soon Available
“Within a year electric power will be
available In Birmingham at a price that
will vender obsolete most of the poorly
designed boiler plants, and the smoke
problem will solve Itself. The boilers
that are properly equipped will probably
bo able to compete with electric power,
but they produce very little smoke.
“There Is one fact In connection with
coke oven smoke that most persons over
look, and that Is, that people who live
and work around coke ovens Inhaling the
fumes and smolte constantly, generally
enjoy good health. Another enrous fact
about coke oven smoke Is that it does
not settle In the vicinity of the ovens;
If you doubt this, examine the clothes
that the women wash who live within a
stone’s throw of the Sloes ovens. "
Hurh McGeever Givea Views
"I never heard of a man objecting to
a dollar because It crnie through smoke,''
said Hugh Mctleever of the Jefferson
county" board of revenue yesterday, In
talking about the Weatherly smoke ordi
nance.
"I came to Birmingham In 188ii because
there was smoke here. The only trouble
Birmingham has ever had since was that
there wasn't enough smoke. When the
rolling mill shut down here during the
panic In the '90s a committee of citizens
and officials of the city went to I.ouis
vllle to see If they could not get the
mills to start up. When they did start
up after a long session of hard times
the sight of the smoke coming from the
big mills sent a thrill of encouragement
and optimism through every man In Bir
mingham.
“Ae to the practicability of the Weath
erly smoke ordinance I ain not able to
express an opinion because I have not
had any experience in the manufactur
ing line. But T do say that anything
that Is going to cause as much hardship
and as great a cost to the small manu
facturers as the ordinance In question
Is said to do should be repealed or it
least delayed for several years.
It's Just such agitation as this smoke
ordinance that is responsible today for
Bessemer and for what might be termed
‘Fragmentary Birmingham.'
"It Is a deplorable fact that the city of
Birmingham Is too widely scattered. The
factories and furnaces and mills are so
widely separated that much Inconvenience
is caused. They should be more con
centrated Into one community and not
scattered all up and down the valley.
Agitation of this sort Is what Is respon
sible for thfcse fragments. Bessemer to
day ought to be a part of Birmingham,
right here dose to the rest of us. The
mills and factories that have made Bes
semer were driven out. of tho city by Just
some such thing as this. It always does
harm and 1 Indorse the fight that Is be
ing made against It.”
“I’d rather see more industries here
than air without smoke,” said Dr. Ft. F\
Levelady. president of the hoard or rev
i enue. ’T’ve lived In Birmingham In this
smoke for 2S years and am still alive.
It has never hurt mo. Birmingham, you
might say. has been made out of smoke.
Smoke may at times be disagreeable to a
certain extent, but I do not think It Is
injurious to health. What Birmingham
needs Is more small manufacturing plants
instead of trying to harass the ones al
ready here,”
